This ref has officiated loads of men’s Ligue 1 as well as Champions League and World Cup games.

347-145 at Half Time. Got to be pleased with that score. Up The Gers 🇬🇧

Easy to see who skipped PSHE at school on this forum.

You’re either really annoying or trying to use intellect to compensate for internal insecurities. To be clear, that was a negative sentence.

Not a defender but think we were heavily linked with Nicky Maynard? Ended up as one of about 10 strikers West Ham played that season.

I pretty much agree with this but viewing figures, financial losses etc. will naturally start to level things out in the same way as if your pub chef started charging Gordon Ramsay prices. Derision of the sport will only create animosity from those currently involved that slows that process as they ‘fight back’ or a reluctance of involvement from those who could improve it.

Your point shouldn’t be controversial because you’re stating a fact. It’s just a bit of a weird fact to consistently state. Have you sat through previous Olympics watching Jess Ennis, Paula Radcliffe and Laura Trott, up in arms because they’d have been beaten by a 15 year old boy who has a biological advantage or have you appreciated them for being the best women in their (track and) field? Enjoy it for what it is or ignore it if you have no interest. I think everyone’s clear that the male body is genetically faster, stronger and more powerful than the female body.

You know I agree with this mate. 100%. Forgot to ask earlier but are you still up for sticking our bollocks in a clamp this evening?

For context, this fella was selected in the USA squad ahead of someone who scored 31 goals in the Championship over the last two seasons.

He does for the 2027/28 season though.

Shooting or getting £5m?

Both have the name Martin though so you’ll understand why I’d identify them as the same person.

Is that the same bloke we sacked last season who now manages Rangers?

Doesn’t that also suggest we’re at a similar level of quality/team rating to Portsmouth judging by the colour attributed to both teams which would contradict your previous point around player quality being of a significantly higher standard?
